Hygrophila This particular species has been introduced to the market only a few months ago and has already seen great success among fans, including myself. This is a very fascinating plant, primarily for its leaves that resemble those of an oak nuances and shades of that gift: the upper surface of the leaf blade can take on colors ranging from green to red / brown, depending the intensity of light to which it is subjected, while the underside remains a shade pink, more or less intense.
From aesthetic point of view is undoubtedly the three species are the most beautiful I've ever had in my tanks, but at the same time one of the most difficult. The information found in the network describes as a kind of average difficulty, but for me there were some moments when I wanted to uproot it and throw it, especially when I saw that, from an outstanding mother plant in perfect health, had been few weeks four completely defoliated stems ...
The transition from form emerged and submerged was not very fast, it took about 2 months, But once adjusted, has been able to repay the wait with beautiful variegated leaves. The growth rate is still very slow, but certainly affected by a problem of assimilation of nutrients affected by more or less all the plants in the tank. For this reason I do not enter on the discussion of methods of cultivation and fertilization, but simply offer a first presentation, hoping to further develop the topic in a more technical and detailed in the future.
For now here is a shot of my plants H. pinnatifida :
